Atsushi Takenouchi began his Butoh journey in 1980 with the Hoppo-Butoh-ha company in Hokkaido. His final piece with the company, Takazashiki (1984), was created with the direct guidance of Butoh founder Tatsumi Hijikata. In 1986, he created his own path: Jinen Butoh — as a universal expression of nature,
earth, and ancient memories, embracing the rhythms of life itself. From 1996 to 1999, embarked on a three-year Jinen tour across Japan, performing over 600 site-specific improvisations rooted in natural landscapes and sacred spaces. Around this time, he learned the spirit of the universe of Kazuo Ohno and Yoshito
Ohno.
Since 2002, based in Europe, working on solo Butoh and collaboration projects with dancers and actors, with giving workshops internationally. His presence extends into film, notably 'Ridden by Nature', an award-winning environmental art dance film by Kiah Keya.
From 2015 to 2020, he directed an intensive Jinen Butoh school in Italy. Today, he devotes himself fully to transmitting Jinen Butoh through seasonal intensive workshops held both in nature and studio spaces — living his art as a continuous dialogue with life itself. In 2021, Compiling these experiences into a book, he published 'Atsushi Takenouchi Jinen Butoh' writing of his Butoh life, workshop contents and his Butoh performance works.
